Intro
WHAT IS CONTEXT ?
It is a term frequently implied to define the exact location of an artifact or structure. A statement of the context of an object or feature involves as assessment of the stratigraphy of the site .
It refers to either the physical built fabric within which a project is situated, the ground in a figure-ground perception within which an architect or group of architects, a work or body of work is culturally and historically placed, or in relation to which they may be understood and assesd in particular aspects.
Therefore, a physical, social or cultural setting has whatever qualities and values it has only through an interpretation ascribing the building to the context. Hence, the meaning of a setting and of anything placed …show more content…
This form of communication is still in evolution. But its repercussions are already manifesting in our socio cultural changes which are in the field of politics, architecture, art, media, music, dance and other work areas. This crossing over the border has given a powerful voice to smaller units or countries.
These new technologies are intensifying linkages of ever greater geographical distances which are across levels of territorial-social and political organizations. The structural basis of local democracy is also changing. Causuing a trend towards the empowerment of smaller units, participating, in broader territorial boundaries. The whole perception of the territory of the place has changed …show more content…
While the tech buildings work on the principles of tension. Thus a shift of the principles of structure systems form compression to that tension. The materials which are used in these high tech buildings are now able to take large amounts of load and forces due to their high strength per unit area capabilities. Thus the nodes and joints which become connectors in the building process are expressed in the form of the building. The use of tensile forces and lighter materials have caused a de- materialization of the form and space.
The various elements of a high tech building – the muscular steel structure, the smooth, impervious skin, the deliberately exposed pipes and air ducts- are often powerfully expressive of their technical function, but the form of the complete building is often remarkably inexpressive of its intended use. The moulding of space, whether to suit particular patterns of use or simply for visual effaect, has never been an issue in high tech architecture.
